Resolution of β-aminophosphines with chiral cyclopalladated complexes
2005
Abstract Resolution of the racemic chiral β-aminophosphines Ph 2 PCH 2 CH(Ph)NH(Ar) ( L 1 for Ar = C 6 H 5 and L 2 for Ar = 2,6-C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 ) has been investigated by use of different cyclopalladated complexes as chiral agents. The resulting complexes afford diastereomeric adducts in a 1:1 ratio. After successive crystallizations from ethanol, a d.e. of 98% was achieved for one aminophosphine palladium complex, while no significant d.e. was obtained after crystallizations from chlorinated solvents. The X-ray structure analysis has pointed out intermolecular hydrogen interactions N–H⋯Cl between the P,N ligand and the chloride ion, which are responsible for the formation and stabilization …
Preparation of trichloro- and tribromocyclopentadienyltungsten(IV)
2000
International audience; The thermal decarbonylation of (Ring)WX3(CO)2 in refluxing toluene has led to the preparation of the CO-free compounds [(Ring)WX3]2 [Ring=η5-C5H5 (Cp) and X=Cl (1a) or Br (1b); Ring=η5-C5H4Me (Cp′), X=Cl (2a) or Br (2b); Ring=η5-C5Me5 (Cp*), X=Cl (3)]. The NMR properties of these molecules are consistent with diamagnetism and thereby indicate a different structure from that of the paramagnetic molybdenum analogues. Compounds 1a and 2a react with dppe to afford mononuclear 18-electron adducts, (Ring)WCl3(dppe) (Ring=Cp (4) or Cp′ (5)). The X-ray structure of 5 shows a pseudo-fac-octahedral geometry with the dppe ligand occupying two equatorial (e.g. cis relative to Cp…
Insertion Reactions of Neutral Phosphidozirconocene Complexes as a Convenient Entry into Frustrated Lewis Pair Territory
2016
International audience; Neutral phosphidozirconocene complexes [Cp2Zr(PR2)Me] (Cp=cyclopentadienyl; 1a: R=cyclohexyl (Cy); 1b: R=mesityl (Mes); 1c: R=tBu) undergo insertion into the Zr-P bond by non-enolisable carbonyl building blocks (O=CRR), such as benzophenone, aldehydes, paraformaldehyde or CO2, to give [Cp2Zr(OCRRPR2)Me] (3-7). Depending on the steric bulk around P, complexes 3-7 react with B(C6F5)(3) to give O-bridged cationic zirconocene dimers that display typical frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)/ambiphilic ligand behaviour. Thus, the reaction of {[Cp2Zr(-OCHPhPCy2)][MeB(C6F5)(3)]}(2) (10a) with chalcone results in 1,4 addition of the Zr+/P FLP, whereas the reaction of {[Cp2Zr(-OCHFcPCy…
